The first two main draw matches of the ATP 250 tournament in Stockholm were played today, and Argentine fans have the most reasons to celebrate. Both of their representatives secured straight-set victories and advanced to the second round of the competition.
Thiago Agustin Tirante defeated Spaniard Jaume Munar 2-0, with set scores of 7-6(7), 6-3. The Argentine tennis player played a fantastic match, looking particularly impressive on his serve. He fired 16 aces, won an outstanding 85% of his first-serve points, and did not allow his opponent a single break point opportunity (0/0) throughout the entire match. His dominance in his own service games is best illustrated by the fact that he won all 11 of them.
In the second match of the day, Juan Manuel Cerundolo saddened the home crowd by eliminating Swede Elias Ymer, who entered the tournament with a wild card (WC). Cerundolo won 2-0, with set scores of 6-1, 7-6(4). Ymer was not on equal footing in the first set, but he put up much stronger resistance in the second, taking it to a tie-break. Nevertheless, Cerundolo managed to keep his composure, serving a total of 7 aces and winning 79% of his first-serve points, also without facing a single break point during the match.
